I watched Dave's recent repair attempt video on the Brymen multimeter where he briefly considered issues with the on/off circuit of the multimeter. I then watched his video from 10 years ago on the soft switch concept which was very helpful.
It got me thinking about an issue I have with a Yamaha keyboard that has a soft switch but won't turn off. The keyboard automatically turns on when power is connected, but when you hold the power button down for ~1 second, it turns off momentarily but turns back on straight away.
Luckily Yamaha has a pretty good service manual and the circuit included. Sure enough, it contains a soft switch that also interfaces with the keyboard, but also with the microprocessor. Below is the circuit that I have added a little detail for ease of reading.
The service manual is not particularly helpful with this particular issue other than to suggest if voltages at test points on the main board are not within spec, the TR200 and TR201 should be investigated/replaced. The test point voltages appear to be okay. The /PSWI and PSWO connections go off to the microprocessor, I presume for functions like auto time-off etc.
Can anyone assist with some guidance on what I should be looking for?
